Chicago Family Activities Guide May 24 - 31

I fought it for as long as I could, and finally had to break down and turn on the a/c Sunday. Good day for sprinklers, hoses and water balloons. Can't wait for the pools to open this weekend!
It's hard to believe Memorial Day Weekend is already here. This issue of our Weekly Chicago Family Activities Guide incorporates Memorial Day, since it's part of the long holiday weekend. Our next issue will come out on Tuesday, June 1st. Some of this week's events are highlighted below, with links to easily find the rest. Don't forget to check our guides and our site frequently - we're always adding to them, even after this email goes out!
